The Claude desktop app
No terminal. One download, and the chat you are in makes the studio and shows each step as a card.
Make a studio Beta
Homie in Claude. Three ways in.
Pick the Claude you already use. Each one ends the same way: you say one sentence, and it makes your studio and your first game.
The fastest way in
Pick the one you use.
Claude Code
/plugin install homie --marketplace homie-rocks/homie
One line, inside a session (Claude Code 2.1.275 or later). It asks you to confirm the marketplace, then you pick a scope. From a terminal it is two commands: claude plugin marketplace add homie-rocks/homie, then claude plugin install homie@homie. Start a new session afterwards.
The Claude app, on the web or a phone
It opens Add custom connector with Homie filled in, and you confirm. By hand: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, with the address https://homie.rocks/mcp. Its cards set the studio up, and each build goes to Claude Code in the cloud, which needs a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan.
A studio needs Node.js 22 or later on the computer it lives on.
Then
Say one sentence.
“Set up a game studio called Night Owls and make a multiplayer game.”
What you will see
A checklist, ticked as it goes: the setup status, the studio, the plan, the build. The moment two browsers finish a round together you get a link to play. Then it goes on to sound, art and the playtest’s fixes, and says what it is doing. The Claude desktop app shows each step as a card in the chat.
What it asks you
Claude Code: Homie’s holds are on (the plugin’s mod): a deploy, a Cloudflare change, an edit to a protected file, spending past your budget and a model download each wait for your yes, in Claude Code’s own question. The desktop app: Claude asks before it uses each Homie Studio tool: choose Always allow, so a build runs without a click at every step. If a step ever sits on a spinner with nothing to click, a request is waiting out of sight: press ⌘ Return (Ctrl+Enter on Windows), or scroll the chat to find it. The Claude app: every approval is one tap on the provider’s own page, and a change goes out as a pull request that you merge.
Going online
One approval: Cloudflare opens in your browser, you sign in or make a free account, and approve. Your studio runs on your own account, on the free plan, with no payment method. Nothing is listed in the homie.rocks directory unless you ask.
